How it works

  • Cashflowy gets all accounting transactions with account_group set as expense from zoho books. This data is stored in the sheet - accounting_transactions
  • In sheet - Report, using Excel formulaes, the data is presented in a tabular format with months along the x-axis and account name along the y-axis. This helps you see your expense split and trend over the months.
  • To help you visualise this better, the summary sheet has a chart.
